Job Overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic and rigorous IRIS² Mission Control Centre (MCC) Integration, Testing and Validation Software Engineer to join our team and play a critical role in the integration, verification, validation, deployment and operational readiness of the MCC software suit.

IRIS² (Infrastructure for Resilience, Interconnectivity and Security by Satellites) is a European Union programme delivering secure and resilient multi-orbit satellite communications. The MCC is a core Ground Segment software system responsible for near-real-time coordination, planning, monitoring and control of resources within the Space Transport Network (STN), across LEO and MEO satellites, gateways, RAN components and payload-related functions.

In this position, you will work at the intersection of software engineering, system integration, IVV, infrastructure and mission operations. You will collaborate closely with MCC architects and developers, operations engineers, system and network engineers, infrastructure teams, software providers and external partners to ensure that the delivered MCC solution is reliable, scalable, secure, observable and fit for operational use.

Who You Are

You are a highly motivated and methodical software engineer with experience in complex, distributed or mission-critical systems. You are comfortable working across application software, interfaces, test environments and operational infrastructure, and you can translate system-level requirements into practical integration and validation activities.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex integration issues and anomalies
• A structured and methodical approach to software integration, testing, validation and maintenance
• A strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, asynchronous messaging and operational software
• The ability to work across application, infrastructure and system boundaries
• A high level of autonomy and responsibility in ensuring software quality, reliability and operational readiness
• Excellent communication skills for interaction with technical, operational and external stakeholders
• A strong commitment to cybersecurity, configuration control, traceability and continuous improvement

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to the integration, verification and validation of MCC software and its interfaces across the IRIS² Ground Segment.
• Supervise the MCC implementation and in particular the integration, testing and validation activities carried out by the MCC contractor.
• Participate in the validation of the MCC functions including resource orchestration and planning, control-plane orchestration, component management and control, mission analysis and monitoring
• Participate to the testing of the MCC interactions with other Ground Segment components (operational organs and common tools)
• Collaborate in building and maintaining representative test environments on containerized Ground Segment infrastructure, including distributed deployments across geographically separated sites
• Support scalability and resilience testing, including progressive deployment, gateway and satellite scaling, and recovery from site or component failures
• Support cybersecurity verification activities covering authentication integration and confidentiality/integrity of communications, including interfaces
• Coordinate defect investigation, change requests and regression testing with software developers, architects, system engineers and external suppliers
• Maintain IVV documentation.
• Contribute to software packaging, deployment and release validation, ensuring that only required software/services/components are deployed and that COTS and Open Source Software usage remains properly documented
• Supervise and manage lifecycle activities from early integration and derisking through deployment, operational qualification, LEOP/IOT sup
